LARRY LEE HODSON
Larry Lee Hodson, 59, passed peacefully at home in the arms of loving family on July 23, 2021, after more than a two-year, valiant fight against vocal cord, lung and brain cancers. Larry was born November 27, 1961, in Greenfield to Lester “Leon” and Barberretta “Buddy” (McCord) Hodson. He graduated from Mt Vernon High School in 1980. He married the love of his life, Victoria Lee (Galbraith) York, on March 9, 2002. On September 25, 2020, in Shelby County, after the death of his wife, Larry was legally adopted by his father in law, Pastor David Leroy Galbraith.
Larry was the estimator for Indiana Traffic Services, in Greenfield, since 2006. He loved his work family and enjoyed the shenanigans and razzing from “his girls.” Larry was a friend to many and would lend a helping hand and a listening ear. He loved to watch the Colts, Pacers and the Indy Car series. After the cancer took his voice, he would enthusiastically pump his fist in the air encouraging his teams to victory. Larry is survived by his father, Dave (Myrna) Galbraith, Waldron, son, Corey Leon Hodson, Anderson, step sons, David Scott and James Michael York, Avon, sister, Terri Galbraith Strode, Markleville, brothers, Roy Galbraith, Ellottsville, Ryan Galbraith, Indianapolis, Mother and Father in law, Susie (Jimmy) Collins, many nieces and nephews, his fur babies, Isabella “Izzy,” Penelope “pinky” and Willow “little bit” and his work family, Tim and Kathi Ottesen, Eric and Julie Sobczak, Gary and Marlena McDougall, and David Mattingly.
